It seems every year my batter in my MT, original 6 volt system, craps out. At this point I have ruled out it being the electrical system. Rebuilt starter, generator, new wiring, not cut out, new switch. Everything has good ground, everything works as it should except I get 9-12 months out of a battery. I have been buying 6 volt batteries from Tractor Supply. Well bought one and usually within the 1 year warranty on the battery I am back for a new one. At this same stage again this year but I am sick of dealing with this tractor and its battery issues. I went to the local Interstate Battery dealer and he told me to go to a 8 volt Interstate or 6 volt Optima. He sells both, both are about $150. I have long been an optima battery fan in my vehicles. Is anyone using the Optima 6 volt or an 8 volt in a 6 volt system?
And yes I think the Tractor Supply batteries are just cheap junk at this point.
